Big room and bathroom with space to eat (so we could eat in our room instead of the restaurant upstairs, which was very cute tho...). Best wifi we had during our trip. Great location for Lunugamvehera Safari (we did not book it with them, but it seemed like we could because they also had a safari jeep). The owner speaks dutch and is very nice! We arranged a well priced tuktuk with her, that took us to Dickwella at 7 pm after our safari (about 2.30-3h drive). We enjoyed our stay and definitly recommend when visiting the Lunugamvehera side of Yala national park. Glad there was a restaurant in the hotel, because there did not seem to be much in the area (we didn't mind tho, we were only here for the safari :))

The place is cozy, clean and nicely renovated. It's by the lake so you can have a super nice walk about it and enjoy the sunset, the farmers life and get a lot of smiles from the locals. It was perfect to rest and relax during a long scooter ride from the south coast to Ella. What I liked the most, is the owner, he did his best to make my stay perfect, providing good food, both at dinner and breakfast and a lot of tips and info about Sri Lanka. I truly recommend this place!

10/10, 5 stars It worths every dollar Everything about this place is Perfect. The owner makes your trip x100 more joyable.. he gave us a bird safar the day before. picked me up from the bus station and dropped me back when i left, waited an hour for the bus with me and made sure im safe. He gives and dont expect back. The jeep and tour guid were perfect.. the tour guide spoke english fluintly and stopped at every animal, we saw the difference with ither guides who did not care and obviously we had a privilage with the jeep and excellent guide. If u want a perfect experience of yala, just go there and u guarantee will!! 10/10 And this guy gigles are the best 🤣

The family that owns the accommodation are the most wonderful people. So kind and helpful in every way and always up for a chat. The rooms are lovely and spacious with mosquito nets to keep out unwanted visitors. The area the cabanas are in is absolutely stunning with an array of various wildlife including a very friendly resident crocodile that relaxes nearby. The owners brothers is a safari guide and through the accommodation we arranged a tour at a really good price and saw lots of cool animals. Absolute 10/10 experience that was absolutely made by the lovely hosts and their adorable children.
